“We feel that there is a retro trend about to engulf publishing, including a backlash against eBooks, back-talking about digital audio books, and backstabbing in general towards digital publishing,” McLean said. “So we’re embracing that backwards trend, hence the name change.

Backword Literary has changed its corporate policies to focus on printed epic fantasies, Southern multi-generational sagas, Hollywood melodramas and very long drawn-out literary novels.

“Anything overwritten, send it our way,” McLean said.

To submit your 1,000-page-plus manuscripts, Backword will be accepting printed submissions only sent to 123 Main Street, Backword, CA, 12345. Or you can call and speak at length to the Backword agents at 415-123-4567.

Mr. Kahler is a trained circus performer, an aerialist by trade, so he peppers this series with a lot of inside information. Would you like to see him dangling from chains high atop the Javits Center in New York during Book Expo America some day? I would! And he’d be just the daredevil to do it.

So, congrats, Alex. I know this might be the final act to the series, but your own real life series has many more hits to come. Check out his gorgeous cover to the first book in the series available now!
